If the federal government has one legitimate duty that justifies its extravagantly expensive existence, it is to defend our national borders from foreign incursion. But here's what Barack Hussein Obama has to say on the issue.

President Barack Obama wants the Hispanic vote — and he wants it bad. How bad, and how far he is willing to go to pander to Hispanics was on full display yesterday as the president told a Texas crowd of supporters that those who want a secure American border, "…they'll never be satisfied." Obama went on to joke that those wanting a secure border might "…say we need a moat. Or alligators in the moat."

This smirking punk has been made President of the United States. Happy now, liberals?

What we need is not a moat, alligators, or snide jokes from an adolescent jackass but a government willing to defend our borders. Since we don't have one, but only a gang of Marxist looters who are spending the country into insolvency, the hostile colonization of the Southwest by Mexico will continue to escalate. Our rulers are fine with this; the more millions of Mexicans on welfare, the tighter their grip on power.

This is why they are planning to slam us with amnesty for the illegal aliens they allowed in, a step that will drive welfare spending into the stratosphere, increase unemployment, and officially open the floodgates to Third World colonists in search of a meal ticket at the expense of the dying remnants of America.

If you want to know what happens next, read The Camp of the Saints by Jean Raspail.

It's so much fun to read about the discomfiture and the snarling inanities of simpletons who have to live in a country bossed by a coloured gentleman. The simpletons have to live there because there is no where else deranged enough for them, not even North Korea. Not that anybody else would want the stupid morons anyway.

You know, if these inbreds are so tired of illegal immigration they need to either repeal or seriously amend NAFTA. The so-called "free market" ideology they love so much and treat like a religion is the cause of a lot of the spike in illegal immigration over the past 15 years or so. Thanks to NAFTA companies in Mexico can now pay their workers such shitty sweatshop wages that a lot of them come to the US in search of better-paying jobs. Many sneak over the border instead of arrive legally because many poor and working-class Mexican nationals can't afford the long, expensive and byzantine current immigration laws. A test this years shows even most native-born Americans can't pass the Immigration Exam on knowledge of the United States.

Maybe if we simplified immigration laws, got rid of racist laws like "Wet Foot, Dry Foot" and made it less expensive and byzantine there wouldn't be such a great need for Amnesty as the phenomenon of illegal immigration would become a lot less common. Even more so if we amended or got rid of NAFTA.

Amnesty is probably one of the best solutions because tracking down all illegal immigrants and sending them back while making a fortified wall and arming it to a degree that would put the Berlin Wall to shame would cost tens if not hundreds of billions of dollars. Amnesty or a path to citizenship would allow illegal immigrants to become citizens and join labor unions to force companies to stop using them as an excuse to drop wages. It would allow them to get better-paying jobs, attend colleges and create businesses in the US so they wouldn't need to be on welfare or become unemployed. A lot of illegal immigrants already provide services, becoming citizens would allow them to start legitimate businesses and create some real job growth. Unlike these established businesses getting tax credits to create jobs overseas in China and India.

We could curtail a lot of welfare spending (which pales in comparison anyway to military spending) if we had a Living Wage in this country and started making businesses EARN tax breaks and tax cuts as a reward for creating domestic jobs instead of just giving them tax breaks Trickle Down Economics-style. All the while they lay off American workers, drop wages and add the extra annual revenue to executive and shareholder pockets.

A twofer. Both obviously racist, and there's a conspiracy about Mexico trying to recolonize the area it lost in the Mexican War. Pathetic, Van Helsing. Pathetic.

@ Comrade Potatovich:

When were those things even mentioned in the rant? You understand that RationalWiki was only joking when it said that even knowing what communism is is illegal in the United States, right? To answer your question, OF COURSE IT ISN'T A CRIME, YOU DUNDERHEAD!

I second what Vox said, and also would like to add, stop blaming everyone except those who are guilty of helping the illegals come here in the first place, like the coroporation & companies that advertise jobs located here, help in transportation coming up here, and hiring them once they get here.

Meanwhile, the adults in the room can remember back when the conservative Republicans were the ones trying to deep-six the whole birthright citizenship requirement for the American presidency. You know, because it stopped that nice conservative Austrian guy with real name recognition from becoming the second coming of St. Ronnie.

Anyone else remember this? Because I do.

Strangely, it only seemed to become a problem when a man with a (cough, cough) different skin tone--as well as a strange name and slightly-less-strident religious views than the other guys running at the time-- suddenly became a serious contender for the presidency. And with substantially less justification, since Arnie actually IS a naturalized citizen who was born abroad to non-US American parents, and Obama actually DOES have verifiable documentation of his birthright citizenship status.

Of course, the people screaming "WHAR BIRF CIRTIFICIT, OBONGO, WHAR?" have a knack for not remembering anything past the last election cycle, and very, very few of them seem to remember much past about November 2008. So this is likely to be new to them, as well as completely irrelevant, for completely self-explanatory reasons.

The only reason I didn't think you were joking was because you brought it up without the OP saying anything about it, so it seemed like a potshot. No hard feelings, right? You people can probably tell that I get defensive about the United States...

The president means that people will never be satisfied because the border fence will never be able to be an impenetrable bastion. An episode of "Bullshit!" shows just how ineffective these border measures are.
As far as amnesty, its not like its the first time it has happened. In fact, if you look at the history of immigration in the US you might come across that fact that mass immigration from Mexico was first opened up at the encouragement of businessmen looking for cheap agricultural labor.
